Tucson

 We made a leisurely departure from HVR this morning, then a 4 hour drive to Tucson.  That is a very scenic portion of I-10, lots of flat open desert in NM then rising up to the mountains in Arizona.  Even the Continental Divide at 4585’ looks flat in NM.  The Chiricahua Mountains appear first right after leaving Lordsburg NM.  They are snow capped now.  Then our old friend Mt Graham appears shortly after entering AZ.  It is also snow capped.  Once further into AZ the view starts to see more and more mountains with some corresponding grade changes.  

Once settled into the Pima County Fairgrounds RV Park we set out for some shopping, dog food (we hadn’t found her brand so went to a pet store), got haircuts and bought more groceries for the boondocking coming next.

We have made contact with my old cowboy friends for a hike on Tuesday.

We met these two guys hauling used cars from MN to AZ, they had been through some snow so they made a snowman at the AZ Welcome Ctr.
